On Ways of Knowing and the Importance of Getting Over One's Self

I've been involved in several discussions over the last little while about the idea of Indigenous Knowledges (discussion primarily with white folks, as it turns out), and given the attention and interest these discussions developed, figured I'd reflect a bit here.

Folklore as the means of Critical Pedagogy

Summary: 
Understanding the culture of disadvantaged in India Dr.Mahendra K Mishra mkmfolk@gmail.com There is no human activity from which every form of intellectual participation can be excluded. -Antonio Gramsci Through a power-point-styled PDF document Dr. Mishra presents the scenario in Orissa, a state of India located on the east coast of India, by the Bay of Bengal. In it he describes the Tribal traditions of the people, their religion, technology, social organization, etc., before arguing for the necessary role of folklore in Post Colonial Indian Education.

"I listen to people"

Greetings,

There has been such an outpouring of love for Joe on this website and elsewhere, and the diverse, sporadic messages all mesh together, for me anyway. They resonate. They speak to the decency and humanity that Joe represented.

My partner Gina and I have been reading Joe's most recent book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy (published by Springer, 2008). We have been reading sections here and there, relating what we know and learn back and forth, and looping it back to Joe. I would like to share one small paragraph in the book that I think appropriately and effectively sums up (some of) Joe`s thinking.
